Bought as a bit of an impulse buy...was thinking of it as part of my Christmas Day outfit.

If you don't think I should return to shop immediately Grin how would you style it?

Lovely.
I'd wear with black turtleneck and boots.

tappitytaptap · 15/11/2019 19:30

I like it. And well done on the weight loss, that’s amazing! You definitely deserve a sparkly skirt to show it off....

Bluerussian · 15/11/2019 19:33

It's lovely! Well done you.

SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 15/11/2019 19:34

Love it - getting one myself now 😎

lmnoh · 15/11/2019 19:38

I love it too !!!
I'm only 5'4" though so might be a little long :-/

Strugglingtodomybest · 15/11/2019 19:41

I find that just hideous but I’m a bit weird about metallics and visible elastic waits.

Me too. But congratulations on your weight loss OP, and if you like it, go for it!

73Sunglasslover · 15/11/2019 19:51

7st!! Well done you! It's fab and I think given your size and height you'll look fab in it.

managedmis · 15/11/2019 19:53

Love it

Congratulations on your weight loss 👍

MoltonSilver · 15/11/2019 19:53

You've lost 7st in the last year....that's a hell of an achievement! Congratulations.
The skirt is lovely.

CointreauVersial · 15/11/2019 19:55

Lovely skirt!

Pajamagirl · 15/11/2019 20:01

Love it ... goes off to search for it
Would wear with hip length black jumper
Fab colour

HerRoyalNotness · 15/11/2019 20:06

I love it but could not wear it. Even though I’m a 12 just now, pleated skirts make me look very wide.

GoodGriefSunshine · 15/11/2019 20:06

Waawaawaaaaa. 7 STONE??? OMG that is incredible! You go buy whatever the hell you want and wear it with bells on!

Rosere · 15/11/2019 20:11

I ordered that one too!!!! Collecting it tomorrow. Obviously I love it. Was going to wear black body suit too. Will steal all these ideas.
Congrats on weight loss. Absolutely awesome!!

Atalune · 15/11/2019 20:23

Wow!

Love the skirt. Love the weight loss.

Wear it with a little neat crew neck sweater and let the skirt do the talking.

Lightinthewindow · 15/11/2019 20:35

It’s a lovely skirt, I seen it in the shop the other day and was admiring it xx

dazzlinghaze · 15/11/2019 20:52

it's gorgeous but I seen it in the shop and it smelled so strongly of fish Shock I sniff tested all the colours they had out and they were all the same... not sure if that was just an issue with the stock in my local store though

GeoffreyAndBungle · 15/11/2019 20:55

It's a gorgeous skirt, am sure you'll look fab.

Hope it doesn't smell of fish though - how bizarre!

Yoollyball · 15/11/2019 21:06

That caught my eye in store last week - i really like it. I disagree about having to be mega slim - I'm an apple with a high waist and the woek very well. I would wear with a black cashmere jumper and some suede black boots. I may but too.

ZenNudist · 15/11/2019 21:11

Like it

Shinysun · 15/11/2019 21:35

I tried this on in the pale pinky colour. I loved it but it annoyed me as the glitter rubbed off.

Ohyesiam · 15/11/2019 21:43

I thought it would take a willowy figure to carry this off, but i I was pleasantly surprised when I tried some of these skirts on last week.

I am tallish but with quite a big torso, I thought I’d look massive , but I looked ok. I like them with chunky jumpers.
Fantastic weight loss op.

Yoollyball · 15/11/2019 22:58

I think they look best on narrow hips - so straight up and downs and apples suit this style regardless of size. A store personal shopper recommended them to me - as an apple i would totally have writen off them off as making me look like a sack of potatoes - but she was right!

PennyNotSoWise · 15/11/2019 23:29

Oooh, I love it! I'm a bit too short to pull it off.

I think it'll really suit Christmas. 7 stone 7 FUCKING STONE, WELL THE FUCK DONE!! is an amazing weight loss OP, if you like the skirt, go for it, you'll look fab.

JessicaRarebit · 15/11/2019 23:34

I like a pleated skirt. Usually prefer a more muted colour but this will probably look great for the party season.

Agree with other posters that pleated skirts can be a pain to wear. I’ve got really wide hips so whilst I do wear these types of skirts seem to accentuate the disproportionate difference between my waist and hips.
